You tell me you want to take me for a ride,

But we always wind up at the water treatment plant,

So, no, I don't trust you to

Drive anymore.

I'm tired of going to the sewer.

I'm not getting into the car with you again.

I'm walking up the mountain 

To breathe the fragrant mountain air

And see the sunrise on the junipers.

I'm going to look up for a long time,

And hope that if I do glance downhill,

I won't see the next one to take your journey to the bottoms

Going down the drain.
